Galleon Lives!

Share.

And it's only for Xbox.

By IGN

SCi today announced that they have purchased the oft-delayed action adventure title Galleon, from cash-strapped Interplay. SCi now promises a March or April release from the creator of Tomb Raider, although the game will now only be released on the Xbox:

Step into the shoes of the swashbuckling CAPTAIN RHAMA SABRIER, and journey on an epic quest through the islands of Akbah to unlock the mystery of an enchanted ship, which could hold the key to the most powerful weapon in the universe.

As GALLEON's incredible story unfolds, Rhama must rely on more than his wits to survive, fending off fiendish adversaries with swords, pistols and Qing-Gong, an ancient martial art which allows Rhama to scale seemingly impenetrable walls, jump enormous caverns and swim to incredible depths.

Inspired by a mix of Sinbad, Errol Flynn, Kung Fu films and Disney, GALLEON creator Toby Gard said: "After creating Lara Croft and having been the lead designer of the original Tomb Raider, I wanted to give birth to a completely new type of hero and I came up with Captain Rhama. I am delighted that gamers will soon be able to savour GALLEON."

Dave Clark, Marketing Director of SCi Games commented: "It is tremendous to add GALLEON to our stable of titles, Toby has had a very specific vision for this game and finally gamers will be able to experience this."

We're not sure what's changed in the game over the months, or why it's now only for Xbox, but we do have some new, crisp screens of a recent build of the game. Check the media page linked below to check them out. For more info on Galleon, check out our Galleon game page.
